You can read the 2400 word essay I posted yesterday about D.W. Griffith's development of a film "language" and how he taught every director from Charlie Chaplin to Christopher Nolan how to manipulate an audience's emotions, or you can watch this 49-second clip from 30 Rock, which pretty much covers the same territory. Your call.(You can watch the entire episode here at Hulu.)
I just finished watching 'Judith of Bethulia.' The beginning of the film is visually stunning. It is like a moving painting.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scene is where Judith is praying as a guard(?) prays in the background.
It was interesting to see Judith dirty herself at the end.
A metaphor?
Thanks for posting the film. Loved the film, the essay and of course, Tina.
Rocky exit...
Oh, I guess it can't be a metaphor. That involves speech.
ReplyDeleteIt's something, though. hee-hee.
A visual metaphor, perhaps. (I wonder if the use of the word "metaphor" in that instance is a metaphor. Hmm.)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked Judith of Bethulia! My work here is done ...
